Creating a Shader

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I am attempting to use this custom shader in Maya.

https://area.autodesk.com/tutorials/writing-a-vector-displacement-shader/

I am using these steps to get it to work.

https://docs.arnoldrenderer.com/display/AFMUG/Creating+a+shader#CreatingaShader-1.1.2InstallingArnol...

Everything works but when I type %ARNOLD_PATH%\bin\kick -l "path_to_shader" simpleScene.ass

to render the scene in MEL, I get a syntax error.

I was wondering if anyone could help me fix this or give some advice.

Thank you
